Last night, we told you that Kajol is not going to judge the upcoming tenth season of. 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' which goes on air in September. For some reason, it seems, she declined it. The dance-reality show in question is coming back after 5 years, it's last edition being in 2017.
For those who have sharp sources, like we at ETimes TV, buzz now is that Karan Johar too is coming on board. Karan Johar will also be a judge on this show.
Madhuri was a judge on this dance reality show until 2014, after which we saw Shahid Kapoor and Jacqueline Fermandez. But now, no Jacquline, no Shahid - not this season. It will be Karan and Madhuri. There is a third judge who will join soon, certain names have been shortlisted but the final selection of the third judge has still not been done.
ETimes TV further has it that like Dixit, KJo finalised the deal only a couple of days ago. "It would have been equally exciting to see the exuberant Kajol as a judge, but some things don't go the way you envisage. Kajol is a very close friend of Karan and that would have been a casting coup; their camaraderie would have stood out. But Dixit too has a fairly good equation with Karan and we guess that should suffice. Anyway, all said and done, we are now looking forward for the drama on 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' to begin. Two months more to go," says a source.
We had told you yesterday that Madhuri's entry has made the show's crew pretty enthusiastic and the preparations have started getting underway at a feverish pace. Now with Karan's entry, it has all snowballed.
